Maryam’s Smile · a Paris bookshop invitation

The place and the book

Naakojaa’s event page invites readers to a meeting with Rabihavi and a presentation of Maryam’s Smile at its bookshop on Rue Edmond Roger in Paris. The organiser gives 12 November 2023, from 17:00 to 19:30. The invitation is a historical event listing, with a place, a time and a named work. Source 1

Introducing the meeting, the organiser connects Rabihavi’s writing with the generation that experienced revolution, war, displacement and narrowing cultural space. This is the bookshop’s presentation of the writer and the reason for the gathering, rather than a transcript of what he said there. Source 1

Two dates with different purposes

Baang published its notice on 4 November, ahead of the meeting. The November 12 date belongs to the announced event; November 4 belongs to the news item. The source pages establish an invitation, without supplying a retrospective attendance report or recording of the discussion. Source 2 · Source 1
